L would greatly benefit from a hoover as she lives in a small house with little storage and
she has limited funds to buy essential living and cleaning equipment. L's 1 year old daughter is mobile and she wants to be able to provide a safe clean home for her child. She is finding it hard to save for a hoover as she has little or no money left after bills and food each week. L attends a young parents group weekly to work on her parenting and development skills.
